Flute Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.923698 Composed by robert fruehwald. 20th Century,World. Individual part. 7 pages. Robert Fruehwald #2154611. Published by Robert Fruehwald (A0.923698). These three short pieces were written for the New York flutist Linda Wetherill. In addition to being a great proponent of new music, Linda spent a number of years traveling the world performing and teaching. Much of that time was spent in Istanbul. While in Istanbul, Linda became interested in Turkish folk music and collected quite a few folk melodies. These pieces are based on some of the melodies she collected. While these preludes are based on actual folk melodies, they are not straightforward settings of folksongs. Instead, the folk melodies present a point of departure for a free development of melodic ideas. I chose to develop certain parts of the melodies extensively and left out other parts of the melodies all together. Still, I believe that someone familiar with the original folk songs will recognize the sources.

Very famous Swiss Song with 10 variations for flute soloAccording to tradition, the Swiss Thomas Legler, then Grenadier Lieutenant in French service, began this song at dawn on November 28, 1812 with his comrades just before the Battle of Beresina broke out. This song later became a public good under the name Beresinalied.www.helene-schulthess.chThe Beresinalied still commemorates the battle that took place 200 years ago at the Beresina in what is now Belarus. In November 1812, four Swiss regiments, which had to move to Russia with Napoleon, made a decisive contribution to covering the retreat of the defeated army across the Beresina river. Of the originally 9,000 Swiss, only about 350 came back alive. Napoleon's Russian campaign, the last battle of which was at the Beresina, was the largest, unprecedented human-made disaster at the time.www.helene-schulthess.ch
